Hoyer is currently leading a delegation of 26 US Democratic congressmen on a tour of Israel and the Palestinian Authority, funded by an affiliate of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. He insisted his message was bipartisan and that a similar message will be brought to Israel next week when House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) leads a Republican delegation to the country, numbering 55 congressmen.

Stimpy Hoyer, what a chump. Israel gets and, America gets ass-out. Golly Stimpy, you can't serve two masters. How about you put America first and/or resign your precious seat in the Congress and wander you sorry arse over to Israel and take a run at their Knesset. Yeah and good luck with that.

He will not be accepted in a jewish only state, the only democracy in the Middle East. I believe he should go somewhere far and die quietly.

Well it should be no surprise that America's No.1 Welfare Queen won't share in the sacrifices…..no….sorry…. They will steal more land though……. to further complicate any measures to bring peace and savings of resources for constructive endeavor… Is ANYONE with an IQ above 43 surprised…??? You should consider it a privilege to contribute your share….. or so they would believe…!!

It's that Welfare Queen sense of entitlement………………….

Capitol Hill is foreign occupied territory and unlike the Palestinians, Americans are clueless of their occupiers.

Hoyer should get his ass home and start addressing America's deep problems. He and the 80 other senators and House reps are AWOL thanks to the cushy trip provided by the AIPAC subsidiary. Such statements of US futrue financial planning declared by a member of the US government in a foreign country is unacceptable. He has now be bribed along with all the others so that the Israeli bill just gets to be part of the every increasing American debt. Way to go Hoyer.

Queen takes good care of her financial agent facilitators…

Put this idiot Steny (is that supposed to be a name?) on the list of traitors that need to be kicked out of Congress.

God forbid anything should stand in the way of subsidies for Israeli militarism. Social Security, Medicare, and foodstamps, all programs that provide subsidies for Americans are on the chopping block, but aide to Israel is sacrosanct. Way to put Israel first Steny Hoyer!

) …said Wednesday that financial challenges “will not have any adverse effect on America’s determination to meet its promise to Israel.”

A couple of weeks ago the debate over the debt ceiling supposedly imperiled US citizens from receiving social security checks. Moving forward US citizens will be affected by budget cuts. But Israel won't feel the effects of US budget tightening. Something is wrong with this.

Israel, Israel uber alles.

Every year Israel reminds itself of how it came to exist, and every year it slips farther into a sick version of the Stockholm Syndrome- every year they become less like their ancestors and more like their former oppressors. I don't think Israel will be satisfied until the whole world is dragged into the modern-day version of the Warsaw Ghetto- but sadly, the guards wear a different uniform now.

And there is no end in sight to this foreign occupation of the US by Israel. It just gets more and more in-your-face.

What an idiot! America needs Israeli aid not vice versa. The United States needs shekels far more than Israel needs public dollars. There is no limit to private donations so all Americans who feel Israel needs money can wire transfer it out of their bank accounts. Direct aid to Israel since 1949 is 1.8 trillion dollars. These congressional morons are having difficulty cutting 1.5 trillion from American spending over 10 years. Cut all aid to all foreign countries other than humanitarian assistance now.

Fedup

These politicos are whores plain & simple.
What does Israel have on the US ? Strange how we are unable to cut this parasitic growth from our hip?

Israel has executed a leveraged campaign-contribution buy-out of the United States. The American Jewish community makes its contributions to various Jewish organizations. Then AIPAC — command and control central for Israeli influence (which is to say "subversion", when the influence is against US interests) — directs these organizations to disperse campaign contributions where they are needed. Where they are needed is wherever there is a Congress-person displaying insufficient obeisance to his/her Israeli masters. The punishment for this disloyalty to Israel is the immediate termination of the offending party's political career. By "destroying" the careers of any Congress-persons who dare suggest that loyalty to the US is a higher priority than loyalty to Israel — the message of obedience-or-else is effectively conveyed to the rest. And in accord with the old Chinese saying: "Strangle the chicken to frighten the monkey", the rest fall into line.

The "leveraging" comes into play because it's way cheaper to effectively oppose and defeat a few "insurgents" than to go "the other way", ie to affirmatively support all 535 members of Congress.

While this approach to securing the US Congress for benefit of Israel has been immensely effective, the end game is "dark". At some point a number of Congress persons — a number exceeding the resources necessary to keep them in line — will defect, and the effort to defeat them will fail. Sensing then an opportunity to be free from the Israeli stranglehold, Congress will push back in a reaction to its long humiliation of coerced obedience. At which point, Israel, and quite possibly the American Jewish community, will confront some degree of "blowback".

For the sake of the US and the US Jewish community, I hope that, before too much animus has built up, we can recalibrate our relationship with Israel, and constrain AIPAC by requiring it to register as an agent of a foreign power.

Grandma will get unplugged long before Israel's aid packages are even mentioned. Mentioned WITHOUT a rabid, foaming at the mouth monologue about how great and wonderful Israel is and how obligated we are to give them whatever they want, that is.

ML3

oh jeez what a relief! And here I was starting to think they would pick up their own tab for a change! You know they have this sparkling economic tech miracle going on in there…and can easily afford it!

A little troll tells me that the US keeps paying Israel so it can have control over their decision not to exterminate every last Palestinian Arab from within their borders…I guess its so the mad dog doesn't slip its leash and start bombing Iran and Syria and anyone else it deems a threat.

Any truth to this assertion, or is it just trollspeak?

John_Muhammad

Israel, without any help from the US, can use all of its resources conventional and nuclear to create all the lebensraum they want in the Middle East.

the problem, however, is what to do with the rest of the world that will no doubt cut off all ties to Israel and leave it economically isolated? And, even MORE importantly, what is Israel going to do about the couple of billion Muslims all over the world who will no doubt be instantly galvanized into one huge anti-Israel bloc and visit some payback on the Hebrews? Israel has painted itself as being the face of Judaism itself, so every Jew in the world will be instantly made a 'legal' target in the minds of many Muslims, and even many non-Muslims.

Go ahead, Israel, start something on your own for a change and see what happens.

Wasn't Steny Hoyer's sister a past president of AIPAC?

Of course not they would rather there citizens suffer.I did not even read this its to upseting asnd Im a Canadian.It makes me sick how they break the law the consitution.I pray Ron Paul wins if not Americans need a civil war fast.

Given the frequency charges of human trafficking are leveled against Israel you would think Tel Aviv would be more be more circumspect about flying in two plane loads of aging American catamites.

I think his name is Stein and he wants israel to be treated the way his mommy treats him, spanking and denial of allowance are not allowed no matter how big an asshole they are.
